An elegant but affordable experience!
We hosted an intimate wedding with about 60 guests, and the Palomar’s ballroom was the perfect size—cozy enough to feel personal yet spacious enough to include a dance floor. We opted for the plated dinner option and transformed the library into a dessert room, which was an absolute hit! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the delicious food, the impeccable service, and the attention to detail.
The ballroom itself is understated yet elegant, offering a versatile backdrop that can be enhanced with personal touches. The hotel also accommodated our need for Halal food, which was a key factor in our decision. After searching extensively for a venue that could meet this requirement while still offering an elegant setting and a dance floor, we found the Palomar to be unmatched—both in value and quality. We feel so fortunate to have celebrated our wedding there!
Beyond the ballroom, the hotel is stunning and offers gorgeous backdrops for couple and family portraits. With the right photographer, your wedding photos will be breathtaking.
The highlight of our experience, however, was working with Erin Schwamb. She is an exceptional coordinator—organized, professional, kind, and detail-oriented. Erin ensured every request, no matter how small, was addressed, and she maintained clear communication throughout our nearly year-long planning process, primarily over email. She was transparent about what the hotel could and couldn’t accommodate, making the entire process seamless. On the wedding day, Erin and her team were incredible, serving as a flawless liaison between us, the staff, and our other vendors. Thanks to them, the day flowed smoothly, and we felt completely stress-free.
We kept our decorations simple with flower centerpieces, a Jenga guestbook, a few framed pictures, and table signs. The staff set everything up beautifully and worked closely with our DJ and photographer to ensure every detail was perfect. Thanks to their expertise, we didn’t need to hire an additional coordinator.
Erin even coordinated with the staff at John F. Collins Park, where we held our ceremony. Her efforts ensured that everything came together effortlessly.
If you’re considering the Palomar for your wedding, don’t hesitate—book now! It was truly the best decision we made for our special day.
Amazing experience from start to finish!!!

Writing for Silver Sound DJs an endorsement for Hotel Palomar, I have had the experience of twice entertaining Hotel Palomar wedding receptions. This Hotel is very new and has a delightful modern style with a touch of the Art Deco style. The decorum and design is very sharp for a signature event, where you want to impress with very pleasant surroundings. The staff are friendly and helpful, they work in tandem towards a pleasing experience for the client and guests. I have also stayed at the Hotel as a guest, the Hotel rooms are of the highest quality, with super design and furnishings. I think this Hotel is one of Philadelphia's greatest secrets. I look forward to entertaining at the Hotel Palomar again. Paul Evans - President and Founder Silver Sound Entertainment.
